Finally got a 5th Gen! Check out my black widow

[kenny45]

It's a bone stock SS but I'm still proud of it. I took it out the first day and tried to do some burnouts and honestly it seems kind of underpowered. I thought the 400HP/automatic would feel insane but it really needs some help off the line. I know you guys will have some suggestions so I am all ears. I'd like to start with bolt-ons and something that kicks me in the seat of the pants. Anyways, I'm excited to finally have my dream car.

Congrats on the ride! best thing to do is Get yourself a tune and fix the L99. Its so bogged down from nannies and a restrictive tune from factory it just isn't impressive at all, like you said underpowered. Get a tune it'll turn into something new. Warranty goes out the window however...

Cold Air Intake from us will eliminate a lot of the restriction on the intake side and give you a nice bump in overall power as well as throttle response. Its a good starting mod that gives you multiple benefits, and once you sets a good platform for additional mods down the road. The nice thing is it requires no tuning and does not mess with your warranty, if that's important to you

Let me know if you have any questions, I would be happy to help!

Thanks man, you nailed it with "bogged down." I love the body style and know this car can be built up to be badass but I really was wondering if something was wrong with it. Anyways, where do I get a tune? Is this like a chip? I haven't been in the car scene for a long time but I do remember chips being a thing back in the day.

Thanks for the response. You guys have a very good looking product, I will consider this just because it looks so high tech. I definitely want something to give me some instant satisfaction so keep them coming guys and I appreciate your time

Congrats....did you turn off the Traction Control to do your attempted burn outs?......it should be able to do them

Ignore chips/programmers, they'll void your warranty too as far as I know and if your going to void a warranty might as well go all out. You can get a tune at any speedshop, various and highly regarded shops throughout the country, Im not sure where you are so I dunno where to direct you, go start a thread or search in your regional section of the forum. Also, might as well grab some LT's and such before you tune, Save some cash vs getting the tune then modding more and having to retune.

If you go with chips I recommend Lays Sour Cream and Onion.

[Rock-It Man]

Did you turn off the traction control?

Good Choice! Gotta love some Doritos too! I found some BBQ rib flavor chips in a vending machine at a prison once.... those things were amazing.

Depending on where you bought it,it probably has a tank full of 87 oct. Burn all that out and keep it filled with premium.you can try the fuse pull too.It doesn't cost anything. And congrats...luv the color...luv the car
